This shows ~1,200 years of seawater erosion of the Khafre Pyramid, compressed into one minute.

For the first ~500 years a high ocean stand holds about 300 ft above the base; its waves lap the soft Tura limestone casing and dissolve it (carbonic acid) at roughly 0.08 ft/year — about one inch of perpendicular recession annually, and ~14× faster than the slow dissolution on submerged surfaces below.

As the sea recedes, it then pauses at successively lower stands, each held ~75–100 years, and each carves a distinct horizontal band where the casing is stripped to the bare core. Loosened blocks slough off at their own pace and fall down each face, piling into talus that mounds toward the center of all four sides.

The smooth white cap above the highest waterline is never reached and survives intact.

The DOJ's deadline to charge Fauci for lying under oath about funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan is in 6 days. We can’t allow the statute of limitations to run out. He MUST be charged!

Agree? RT.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

JD Vance doesn't know what the term "negotiation" means.

He says, basically, "We showed up, gave them our demands, said this was our final offer, and they refused to agree to it. So we left."

That's not "negotiation." It's not diplomacy. Trump, JD Vance and the entire American Empire are all incapable of negotiation or diplomacy. The very concepts are completely alien to them.

Price controls only exacerbate the shortage and make it last longer. Econ 101.

[Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 @mtgreenee]

This is nauseating.
I spoke at a Trump rally right before Lindsey Graham in 2024 in SC in Lindsey Graham’s home county.
During my speech I said no more money to the Ukraine war and talked about no more U.S. involvement in foreign wars and the massive crowd roared with cheers.
After I finished, Lindsey Graham came on stage and was booed for the entirety of his speech until he finally quit and walked off stage.
In his home state.
In his home county where he was born and raised.
This is all documented and on many videos.
And Trump knew it happened, he heard the crowd.
Lindsey Graham is exactly what Americans voted to get rid of in 2024, but Trump fights tooth and nail to protect.
The vast majority of Trump’s endorsements are for politicians that always protect the swamp establishment and the deep state.
Open your eyes and get out of the cult.
The Trump endorsement should be a warning label proving that candidate will obey the very system that you hate and will be most likely funded by AIPAC which promotes Israel’s interest over America.
Vote for candidates that are America FIRST!!! 🇺🇸

Israel nearly killed the Belgian Foreign Minister during its terrorist attacks on Lebanon today

[Glenn Diesen @Glenn_Diesen]

Israel has bombed Lebanon the entire day

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Who would have ever guessed that Israel would instantly sabotage the US/Iran deal by -- 12 hours after it's announced -- committing one of the most horrific atrocities you'll see in its monstrous bombing of Beirut and other areas of Lebanon, killing dozens and probably hundreds?

[Kris Stinson @StinsonKris]

If this is a real deal, why is the news coming thru 3rd parties, anonymous people, and not directly from the Iranians?

[Sam Stein @samstein]

what is Iran's ten point plan that Trump is calling a "workable basis" for an agreement, you ask.

[Kris Stinson @StinsonKris]

@MintPressNews Is this happening before the ceasefire or after?

[Tracy Shuchart (𝒞𝒽𝒾 ) @chigrl]

I give this "ceasefire" 48 hours

[Kris Stinson @StinsonKris]

@BretWeinstein Wow! Look at all the Blue Check Bots in the replies!

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

The President's threat against Iran is genocidal, even by the strictest definition. It may be bluster, but that does not change our obligation. To work, a threat must be credible, and we must act accordingly.

We attacked Iran. Any order to escalate our attack with nuclear weapons would clearly be immoral, and must therefore be rejected by every person in the chain of command. Anyone who carried such an order forward would become immediately complicit. That is the lesson of history, and those who fail it will be judged harshly by it--and by God.

We can't have a Commander in Chief who threatens civilians, idly or in earnest. The President must be removed from office, for the good of the Republic, and the world.

BREAKING

Former US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene:

“Trump was elected to end America’s involvement in foreign wars.”

“Not to kill an entire civilization while waging a foreign war on behalf of Israel, another foreign country.” 🔥🔥🔥

[Daniel Davis Deep Dive @DanielLDavis1]

Personally, one day from the holy day of Easter, I find it repugnant that Trump is threatening "all hell" to be unleashed on the people of Iran and then double the insult by feigning "glory be to GOD," -- especially given that Jesus, whose resurrection from the dead Christians will be celebrating tomorrow is known as 'The Prince of Peace'

This is no way to fight a war. It might be a way to *lose* one, however.

Whether one wants to talk about the British ppl defiant in the face of NAZI bombing in World War II, or the German and Japanese ppl never succumbing to fire bombing in the same war, the North Vietnamese ppl's refusal to be bombed into the stone age, the North Korea ppl's resilience in the face of near eradication of all their cities in 1953, or the unwillingness of the Palestinians and Lebanese to submit to relentless Israeli bombing since 2023, the pattern is the same: massive bombing of a population does NOT force it into submission.

If President Trump thinks a one month-plus bombing campaign is going to compel the Iranian ppl to submit to his will - especially after those same Iranians have *already proven* an ability to sustain hundreds of thousands of combat deaths in the U.S.-backed Iran/Iraq war 1980-88 - he will be, again, proven wrong.

But its not just about him being proven wrong, its about the potentially significant numbers of Iranians who will die in the process, or, if he doesn't care about those human beings, maybe he should consider he'll also pointlessly sacrifice American service members and Israeli citizens as well (and if things go woefully south, maybe large numbers of GCC states' populations as well.

This war of choice has all but effectively been lost by the U.S. and Israel. The only question now: will we deepen our loss or suck down meaningful amounts of pride and hubris, but take an ugly diplomatic off ramp.

Pretty sure we know the answer to that...

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Iran won’t close the Strait

Iran better open the Strait

Iran has 2 days to open the Strait

Iran has a week to open the Strait

NATO, open the Strait

I’ll bomb your critical infrastructure if Strait isn’t opened

I don’t care about the Strait

No ceasefire till Strait is open

[Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT @Peoples_Pundit]

Lindsey Graham is a brand liability for Republicans and if they do not swap him out for an America First Low Country Republican soon, they will find that state hard to hold in cycles like this one, and eventually, period.

[Books Behind Borders @MHTruthUltra]

Donald Trump ran on 3 things: lower prices, keep us out of war, and slash the national debt.

A year later, average gas prices has increased 40%, we’re at war with Iran, and the national debt hit an ALL TIME HIGH of $39 trillion.

Getting tired of winning yet?
